Talking in Church.

The st. Louis Christian Advocate
(Methodist) has surprising article
on talking in church, of which it
says: "It is almost universal. We
are astounded at its prevalence in
city, town and country. The congre-
cation is more like a quilting society,
a gabbling school, than decent, re-
spectacle congregation met to wor-
ship God. They have ioked, talked,
whispered, chatted, gossiped and
laughed till they are about as fitted
for the service of that hour as a COM
pany of monkeys in the wilds of Afri-
ca. The sermon, falling upon such
hearers, will have about the same eff
feet as water poured on ducks back
or rain falling on the sands of Sahara.
The old Methodists used to sing while
the congregation was gathering, the
spirit of worship and of song prevail.
ed. The modern Methodist chat
gable, gossip and jabber till the
preacher rises to announce a hymn,
and the spirit of gad-about, rattle
head, idle-talker runs through the
whole hour of chaffy worship"

The Four Shrubs.

A sanity priest was once walking
with little boy. They came across
four shrubs. The good man said to
his youthful companion:
"Pull up the least one"
He obeyed with ease.
"Now, the next,
He obeyed, but it did not come so
easily.
"And the third"
1t took all his strength to move the
roots but he succeeded.
"Now, the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
tremble, he could not move theroots.
They had grown strongly into the
earth, and no effort could dislodge
them.
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth
This, my son, is just what happens
with our passions. When they are
young and weak one may, by little
watchfulness over self, and the help
ola little self-deAial, easily tear them
up; but if we let them cast their roots
deep into our souls, then no human
power can uproot them: the AL
mighty hand of the Creator alone can
pluck them out.
"For this reason, my child, watch
well over the first movements of your
soul, and study by acts of virtue to
keep your passions well in check"

Wild Geese in Dakota.

A travelling correspondent now in
central Dakota says they had a cold
snap there in the latter part of Octo-
Der, when the temperature quickly
fell to l2' F. below zero. One curious
effect of the cold was to bring down
immense fiocks of wild geese. Seen
from the Car windows when they
alighted on the stubble fields they
looked like great snow banks, Mr..
G0osei unlike Mr.. Buffalo seems to
augment in numbers. They are ex-
ceedingly shy and difficult to shoot.
The best way to capture them is to
dig pit near where they feed, stick
up two or three dozen decoys made of
sheet iron painted up, and when a
flock flies over they come down out
of curiosity. fla man is sunk in the
pit to his shoulders, they don't rec
ognize him. Another way is to APP
proach feeding flock. with team
of horses, Of which they are not shy.
They don't seem TO see mans, il he
remains in wagon. Skirt thes flock
as close as possible, then:::suddenly
turn and run the horses straight for
them at the top of speed. They rise
slow, and one can get directly under,
oftentimes, and bang away with re-
suits.
Two men brought fifty-seven in
halfa day. They are fine, large game
about the size of domestic geese, and
nice eating.
Artesiau wells are growing equite
fashionable in this central part of Da-
kota. L meet them quite often. Any
town that makes any pretense to be
a town must now have its artesian
well. They all seem to be about 900
to l, 100 #. deep, and cost from about
$500 to 81, 900 each, with a pressure
of $50 to 200 Id. to the square inch.

The Women are Getting There Eli.

One of the most conspicuous ten
denotes of the times is the increasing
activity of woman as an independent
factor in the worlds progress. With
in the last twenty years she has made
q wonderful advancement in the line
of self assertion. There is today
scarcely any vocation and no profess
sion in which she does not shine.
She is in the pulpit. She runs for
Office. She feeds the sick on physic.
She is the ministering angel of hos
pitfalls. She leads before the public
tribunals. She edits newspapers.
She writes more books than man.
She is school teacher. She is an in
ventor. She draws big salaries on
the stage. She works in factories.

BOiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr., c. *. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was al
Aicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause Of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial. avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
